Penn Radiology Oncologic Imaging Essentials
Penn Radiology responds to the constant challenge of Cancer imaging with Oncologic Imaging Essentials. This activity includes a review of the diagnostic imaging evaluation of common tumors, including breast, head and neck, thoracic and abdominal malignancies. Current state of the art modalities used for oncologic imaging, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET-CT and digital mammography will be discussed. Emphasis is placed on the role of imaging in staging, treatment and follow up in order to optimize care of oncologic patients.
Credit Hours: 18 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, which are all applicable to SA- CME requirements for Maintenance of Certification.
